No, it is one theory givinb better results than another in a given case.
ALL theory is fantasy.

Science is about verification. One cannot talk about that "which cannot 
be verified" because that is saying verification is "impossible" and as 
you should know saying something is "impossible" is the same as saying, 
"I'm a moron".

But even then, remember that nothing can REALLY be "verified". All is 
limited by the conditions of the 'verification". Some things verify to 
great accuracy. Others not so much. It may be a mistake to judge the 
quality of a theory by the accuracy of it's verification. However, 
theories that predict things that are never verified to any degree are 
obviously highly suspect.
